Ukraine's accession to the EU and the formation of a new architecture of the European continent
Abstract
The article examines the key challenges of the European security system and the threats Ukraine and the EU face with. The author notes the onset of an era of global conflict and instability. The text analyzes Ukraine's path to integration with the EU, its main stages, achievements, and unresolved problems. Attention is paid to the study of the dangers that have arisen because of Russia's aggressive retro-imperial policy, and the importance of consolidation of the EU member states to counter Russian encroachments is shown. It’s also emphasized that Ukraine's contribution to European security is growing considerably, but the country needs more comprehensive support and assistance from European and other democratic states in the world.
The author points out the problems in the EU itself in developing and ensuring an effective foreign and security policy, especially in view of the subversive activities of the so-called Putin's circle of friends. The vital importance of granting Ukraine and Moldova the status of candidates for EU membership is underlined as well as a fundamental decision to start accession negotiations with both countries. Attention is also drawn to the need to reform the EU itself, primarily to ensure its greater ability to respond to emerging challenges and threats.
